Sam Lowry - "With/Without" Release Date - May 1,2009

Sam Lowry's 5th album, "With/Without" is scheduled for release on May 19th and is now available for pre-order in the HSR store.
Unconventionally recorded live in a single day, in the main hall of a church-cum-recording studio, "With/Without" finds Lowry leading his band comprised of Sarah Balliet (Murder by Death), Sophia Travis and Nathaniel Seer through revisionary versions of older songs coupled with new ones.
Recorded with only two short rehearsals beforehand, the songs pulse, primordially. They move with the energy of four musicians capturing the shape of a song as it happens, forgoing the gamut of endless practices, multiple tracking and overdubs. This comprises the "with" portion of With/Without.
"Without" finds Lowry alone with his guitar capturing new songs in their most raw form, and radically reworking a handful of old ones into their most primal. With no additional instrumentation, the minimal guitar work places his strongest asset, his lyrics, in the foreground and leaves no doubt that his songwriting places him deservedly in the canon of the greats of his generation.
